Berichten • I bought a prize figure... (Ro-chan)

Coincidentally unboxed mine today, now reading up on blogs. :) I have the same problems with the three poles. I can get 2 out of 3 fitting at best. When I put in a 3rd, another will pop out. It still sturdy enough with 2 poles only, so yeah...

Oh wow, that is really unfortunate :( Mine doesn't really have any of those issues at all. Infact she is great PICTURE #1304324

solluxcaptor (3 maand(en) geleden) #38648026Huh, I saw this comment and I own the Shimakaze but mine is fine so I looked in the comments and people are saying her paint job is really bad?? The paint on mine is fine... maybe I got lucky (Reminds me of that recent Miku prize that either came out perfect or completely messed up with the stars, prize figures can be occasionally hit and miss unfortunately)

victorviper (3 maand(en) geleden) #38631898It looks like Taito did a much better job with Ro 500 than they did with their Shimakaze ITEM #199562; that figure was a real disaster.
You might want to link the figure under related items, so people can find this mini-review.

In my opinion, prize figures need reviews more than standard statues. The quality tends to be very inconsistent with them, and there are some gems hidden there that would put some well known manufacturers to shame.
Thank you for the review. It's a very neat figure, except for the few seam lines.
I wish U-511 would get the same love Ro does...
